Awesome episode. Man, I’m going to miss Rick. They done well with that promo for the next three episodes, but I just can’t ever see my interest being high again without him.
I can't tell what's more jarring, the fact that we've jumped over double the time we had experienced between the first episode to Rick leaving, or the fact that an eight year old is just waltzing around in the woods with a sword and a gun seemingly by herself
(on that note, it's also sorta weird that we lost so many people in like, 3 years since the apocalypse began? And in 6 years no one has seemingly died)

Really good episode. BUT I'm not a fan of there being another time jump. I just think it will be too much to take in. The first one worked as we had to wait a few months, but with this we just have a week :/
And they announced the Rick spin-off far too soon. It just sort of makes the episode a bit redundant, really. I'm looking forward to the whisperers though.
Lostie!

So I'm FINALLY caught up after falling behind on the entirety of last season :joker: I felt like the mid-season finale of season 8 onwards was a marked improvement over the first half and season 7 but season 9 so far has been such a step up. I'm actually fully back into the show again for the first time in about 2 years :clap1:
Really loved Rick's send off. Obviously Carl and Lori were glaring omissions (I know Lori had a voice cameo but still) but you can't always get everyone you want back. I'm super intrigued by the movies too, and I'm glad Anne will be involved because I've loved her since all her people died.
Really looking forward to the new storyline too, although I've only read very early issues of the comics so far I'm well aware of what comes later and I've been anticipating this next arc for ages. The Whisperers have potential to be terrifying villains if done well, and the heads on pikes could be a great way to end the season.

I actually really like the time hop I think it's nice as I felt like the timeline we were in after Carl and Rick are gone was destined to be a bit boring and all mourning and frankly I wasn't very intersted in Judith growing up all that much.
I also really liked Magna and her group and I am interested in how they habdle the deaf characters, it could make some very interesting scenes.
Anyone else hear the whisperer at the end of the episode aswell? Can't wait to see what they do with them!

watch them do a LVand only show us the pikes but not the heads!
I'd fume
Rosita and Gabe are... A choice
Always thought if they weren't gonna hook her or Eugene up, she would go with Tara or Siddiq. A lot happens in 6 years and I remember Gabe and Rosita had a nice moment in Season 7 but yeah. Interesting combo

overall it was a great episode, also how different most looked Carol with the longer hair :o Henry now a teen (played by Matt Lintz, brother of Mackenzie Lintz who was Carol's daughter apparently and also was in another series Under the Dome as Norrie)
Negan becoming more and more a good person, i liked that scene of him and Judith :)

Agree with your post though, it kind of freshened the show up a bit, was getting pretty stale

talking walkers was the first real whisperers moment i think, and i do know in telltale the walking dead final season, this one guy James a former whisperer explains how his group wears walker skin and they can lead herds of walkers in any direction they want, so that explains the walkers suddenly moving towards eugene and Rosita while they thought they went the other direction
Babayaro.
15-11-2018, 07:09 PM
Decent episode. But the majority of the characters are still annoying.
WHY does Carol call Henry her son. Like, she would never do that after the whole Sophia thing. And Henry calling Ezekiel his Dad even though he would've still been old enough to remember his real one.
And who is that small boy at the end with Michonne? If that's another child of her's then I cba.

They treat him like those own so maybe he just said it one year and it took one.
That's hers and Rocks toddler. So he will be 5.

Unfortunately after an awesome start to the series I have been blown away every episode the one this week was a little bit underwhelming. The whole council deciding on the new people story was so boring and took up too much of the episode. However there were some good points
Carol setting people on fire so she is even more bad ass now
Judith and negans chat
Seeing the whisperers at the end
Everything else was boring, and Gabriel hooking up yet again this time with rosita that was a bit odd

great episode, lots of fun Daryl/Carol/Henry scenes :clap1: aw @ Daryl with his new dog who he calls Dog
Michonne and Magna's group getting along a bit better than before :love: after she destroyed Luke's violin with her sword :o
someone at the end of ep was watching Michonne & Magna's group, i suppose that were some of the whisperers again, Eugene MIA probably we will find out about him in the next episode, cause they are going to that shed where Rosita left him
Honestly I think Rick leaving was for the best. While 9x01-9x05 was great, it sorta felt weird having Rick live for Judith, as odd as it sounds. There was more emphasis on him living for Carl than Judith than anything, and Rick living for Carl's message isn't as impactful as him living for alive Carl. I think them shifting to a Michonne/Judith dynamic was the best choice, even if it wasn't like they had a choice lmao
I really love how badass Judith is. It's just so in character for Michonne to raise her like that lmao
RJ!! I'm so glad Michonne isn't alone, even though she lost Carl and Rick
Daryl's been... good this season? wtf
Carol is still badass and a mum again. And while I don't doubt she and Ezekiel became parent figures to Henry, it is a tad jarring to hear him call them mum and dad :laugh:
Aaron being a dad is GREAT. all I needed was to her gracie to call him dad to wanna cry. I really hope we see more of Aaron, he's one of the few Alexandrians left standing
Him and Jesus ninja training is cute
Talking of Jesus, it's in character for him to not take the leadership role given how he's always been the assistant, but it's also in character since he definitely would do it for Maggie. Kind of a shame he's not grown into a true leader, but...
Tara being the true leader of Hilltop is GREAT! I've loved Tara and always thought the idea of an 'enemy' turned friend was cool (even if a good number of Saviors have done the same). Would never have imagined the sister of the Governor's girlfriend would end up leading a community 8 years in the future
on that note, I like seeing people's new roles. Enid being the Hilltop doctor, for example
I don't think I've ever warmed to a group as quick as I have with Magna's group. Magna and Yumiko are cute, I actually enjoy a comic relief character for once (sorry Eugene, but I refer Luke) and the inclusion of a deaf character is great. Also they managed to make me care and feel for them in the last episode, which is cool, given how short I/we have known them for
Part of me isn't looking forward to more villains being introduced. I sorta enjoy Soap Opera-y it's gotten. I wouldn't want it to go on forever, but it'd have been nice to see some more of the Kingdom after the long timejump... and even Alexandria to an extent

I've not read the Comics, but I can imagine that they do it better as Book/Comic mediums tend to normally handle their Romances in a more natural manner compared to TV Shows who try to force scenes between the couple to make the audience care for their relationship, rather than letting them naturally flow.
And I really felt sorry for Sasha as just as she was about to build a dynamic with Abraham the show decided to end it. It was absolutely shocking imo.

I barely read the comics but I do keep up to date on them, so I can't comment on the forced scenes/interactions in the comics. There have been some... questionable relationships though :joker:
Abe's death was really obvious to me. But I was sorta put off by how obvious Glenn's also was
Glenn's death was cruel, gruesome, and took too long. We barely saw any of Abe's death. It was clear they just used Abe to create a sense of safety and in the process they ****ed over Abe's fans and threw away a storyline for him while doing it. And while I loved that he got mentions and Sasha and Rosita bonded over, Maggie's speech at the end of Season 7 just proves that the main focus was on Glenn's death more than anything

So gutted that the first half of the series is over
It has been amazing. Quite possibly my favorite ever season. Which was a relief as the last two seasons were dreadful! The last episode was actually really scary!!!!
Yknow, in a show about the dead coming to life, I've learnt to suspend belief. But there's some things I wanna know regarding... the Whisperers (spoilers):
That mask looked pretty stitched on. I wonder how they stitched it
How do they not run the risk of infection? I'm sure Gabriel became so ill and eventually blind because using Walker guts to mask himself made him ill. And simply being injured with blades coated in walker guts was enough to cause a fatal infection in people as we saw in season 8 when the Saviors attacked the Hilltop. Do they just do it and hope they survive?
Daryl was out there for 6 years and NEVER saw Walkers behaving suspiciously? REALLY? Where the hell have they been hiding?
I wonder how long the Whisperers have actually existed. Did they come together at the start? Were they together when Rick arrived at Alexandria? During the 1.5 year time jump? Between the 6 year time jump? Many questions
... do the walkers really follow other 'walkers'? They said that walkers mainly react to the stimuli light and sound (hence why explosions, gunshots and fire draws walkers). So surely the bright flame in the dark should've overrode the desire to walk in a pack? Not saying it's a flaw in the canon, but I can't think of a time where it's been explained as to why walkers instinctively walk in herds. If I knew that these question would be nonexistent

Jesus' death scene is one of the best in years!
Jesus' death scene is one of the best in years!
I really wanna be mad about his death because of how underused his character was (Tom Payne went IN in his interviews) but I won't lie, I loved it. I had the death spoilt for me months ago so I was anticipating it but I still had anxiety and shock when it happened. And they somehow made the Walking Dead scary again? The atmosphere, the fog, the way it was filmed... Jesus' death was brilliant
(On the topic of deaths, it's weird how The Walking Dead was so consistent for years and then this year they've completely mixed up the cast. Just over a year ago, we went from having 5 S1 characters (Rick, Carl, Daryl, Carol, Morgan) to 6 (+ Morales), back to 5... then to 4 (Carl's death), andwithin a year Rick and Morgan left the series. And oddly enough, I love the divergence. But with the loss of Rick, Maggie, and now Jesus I don't know if I should be complacent or worried for the death count in 9b :worry: )
Oh and Enid and Alden are certainly a.... uh... choice (a bit jarring to think that she's dating someone around 10 years older than her because we first met her as like, a 12/13 year old? and her actor hasn't changed despite her character not being 19/20)

Michonne was and is an amazing protagonist and I really do believe only her could've taken up Rick's role in the show. Regardless, I'm just hoping we get to see Carol become the main role (assuming there will be one)

So Michonne is moving to the movies?
Naturally Carol must take over then.

09-02-2019, 10:39 AM
I think this was inevitable as she'll be getting countless job offers at the moment, if she doesn't jump on it before her time with Marvel ends she could lose the opportunity to move into big movies forever.
I personally don't think TWD actually needs a "lead" :shrug:.
So Michonne is moving to the movies?

If they force Daryl onto us I'll ****ing fume
Carol's had more growth and given how she's not reclusive like Daryl, it only makes sense for Carol to take the limelight
DO NOT give Daryl the centre stage

Oh also, do we all think that Daryl and Henry were doing a good cop/bad cop number on Lydia?
Henry was being sincere towards Lydia i think, but Daryl knew he would be able to get through to her into saying her name
but basically all the rules of herds don't really count anymore in the walking dead telltale video game we already heard from a former whisperers member named James, that the walkers they see them as the dead but still with a soul inside them, this was proven via our character clementine in a shed with walkers, she rang some music bells and the walkers were calm and listening to the music, so that makes you think of walkers who had been people with lives before all this, and not just monsters with rotten flesh, James also said he left the whisperers group bc he didn't agree with their motives about using the walkers as an army against the living but he wanted to live in peace with the walkers somewhere quiet

Oop I might have to watch again.
Is anyone on here still watching FTWD? I haven't seen since the end of season 3 but saw a spoiler that
Madison dies. So I can't see it still being any good? :suspect:Madison and Nick both died, the only original cast members left (currently) are Strand and Alicia... though its been rumoured that Daniel Salazar might show up again next season, he wasn't in (or even mentioned in) the most recent season.
It otherwise has a tonne of new cast members; Morgan (from TWD), Al (Shannon from Lost), John Dory (Gunslinger type feller), a woman called June, and a like 12 year old girl whose name I can't remember. And they were joined by a couple of newbies towards the end of the season; a trucker lady, a guy in a wheelchair, and a guy who makes craft beer.
To be honest they practically rebooted it... It feels like a totally new TWD spin-off that happens to have Morgan, Alicia and Strand in it. It's even set in a totally different place (southern / middle America, rather than being mainly based in California and Mexico). It has a fairly strong Western vibe (even the opening credits / music are different and have that vibe).
I actually really enjoyed the season though... More than the earlier seasons for the mostpart. And more than a lot of TWD. Morgan gets a ln absolute boatload of character development, as does Alicia, which neither really got previously. So it's like a new show but I personally think a pretty good one :joker:.
Though they have brought over the "various ninjas!" concept from TWD with signature weapons etc... Like Morgan is still "stick ninja", John Dory is a cowboy style "revolvers ninja", Alicia is "Assault rifle ninja", Al is... Err... "Massive armoured truck with mounted machine guns ninja".
ALSO re: Madison it is made quite explicit that she's dead and explained how she died. She's in the season via flashbacks but you DON'T see the death and you never see a body. So y'know. Pinch of salt there.

I don't have the 'confirmed' pike list but TSDF have confirmed three very likely deaths: Henry, Enid, and Tara :(
Also likely:
-Tammy Rose
-Kelly
-Diane
so like...literally Henry is the only guy that seems to be dying so far lmao. Apparently Gabe/Rosita/Siddiq/Eugene are all safe (which is surprising given the fact like... a death that square woud give it more story. cull gabe!)
Ezekiel, Jerry, Michonne, Daryl, Carol, Negan and Judith are also considered 'safe'
It honestly feels like Tara's death is just. there for the sake of it. Literally only Rosita could mourn her and that's a stretch bc for all we know they've had minimal interaction for years. And the Hilltoppers are also gonna be like "damn RIP Enid :( we really need to stop getting doctors or we're just gonna keep losing them :("

I actually like Alden! I dunno why, maybe it's cuz he's kinda sexy :dance:
I'm miffed bc it means Carol is gonna have to go through losing another child :bawling: it doesn't help that Henry's real life sister is Sophia's actress

i worry myself for Jerry, i like him so much but him having become a father is never a really good omen on a show such as TWD
btw on the safe list are those who aren't at the kingdom, so that means Aaron is safe, so is Negan

Am I hearing right, Tara got piked?
Am I hearing right, Tara got piked?
Yes. Click the spoilers below for my rant about Tara's death (and a couple of the other piked victims :eyes:
Sadly so. I honestly thought she had became invincible and I'm bloody devastated she's gone. She was easily one of my top 3 characters and has been for quite some time now.
I appreciate no character is truly safe in The Walking Dead, and in real life scenarios they're never gonna kill just one 'big' character, but I'm bloody annoyed that Tara's and Enid's deaths are being shared. They're both big enough deaths to be felt by all communities IMO. Tara especially.
Tara had interesting growth and a unique personality that no one else had. She had a quirky sense of humour and she was an 'enemy' (I use that term loosely) turn family member which is something we only seen with Saviors since (and now we only have Laura as a notable example... joys). She became a girl on the Governor's side who didn't want to fight to the leader of a big community. And a true leader, at that, one who engaged and helped Hilltop and looked out for its people. And it's bloody frustrating that Tara's gone.
I think I'm somewhat okay with her death because I feel like they utilised Tara well, but she honestly could've done with more screen-time this season. As well as more scenes with Jesus - their leadership and bond was interesting, especially when you think about their conflicting outlooks during All Out War. That said, I'm ****ing pissed she's dead.
But that brings me onto Enid.
Enid's easily had some of the biggest growth in the show, if not explicit. She went from a girl who didn't want to live at Alexandria and with people to forming an almost parent-daughter bond with Maggie (and to a lesser extent, Glenn), a relationship (of sorts) with Carl, before becoming a doctor. Pretty interesting to compare Season 9 Enid to Season 5 Enid, but it's saddening to think of how little screentime she got for most of that development and how... not-independent she became.
Above anything, Enid was a survivor ("Just Survive Somehow" ring any bells?) and has survived on her own for a good while - heck, she voluntarily chose to be alone until she started getting closer to Maggie and Glenn. And maybe she became less of a survivor because life became 'easier' (for lack of a better word) but I just find it hard to believe Enid, someone so hardened by past trauma and an independent survivor, could end up on a pike. How was she so easily convinced to leave the fair? Was she convinced that Alpha or someone was hurt? None of it makes sense to me - especially as there was no mention of her ever intending to leave the fair (on that note, Tammy, Addy, and Rodney were all a bit random).
I could go into the "Bury Your Gays" territory if I chose to (especially with the loss of Jesus - although Tom Payne did choose to leave (I think?) but regardless, Alanna didn't want to leave - Tara was written off as a death) but I won't (Two gay characters introduced in episode 5 and within ten episodes another two gay characters are killed off? Hmm (although there were like, 8 other deaths of straight people that episode so meh) because what's annoyed me is the way they've died.
They only really needed one 'big' death, and Enid or Tara could've been that. Not both. I remember hearing both of them would die and thought "nah" because why would they kill off two of Hilltop's biggest members? Killing off Enid would impact all of the Hilltoppers + Aaron (and even some original Alexandrians) and killing off Tara would... pretty much impact all of the Hilltoppers only (I want to say Rosita but for some reason their entire friendship was neglected this season which is a damn shame because they were great together. GREATM anyone?). They said they killed off people because of who it'd impact and Tara and Enid's deaths have too much overlap that only one or the other was necessary. And even if one of them was only killed off, they'd still be sharing their spotlight with Henry. It's just so frustrating they had two well-rounded, developed, interesting characters and decided to kill them off after under-utilising them all season (and in Enid's case, past two seasons). I would've been more okay with Tara being a 'big death' and Enid following in the next finale/premiere but regardless, here we are.
It's also a tad weird that they just. Killed off Frankie. She appeared in like, 4
episodes before Season 9? She didn't appear when AOW ended, she didn't appear after the 1.5 year skip, and she didn't appear in the six year time jump until this episode technically. They decided to give her an adopted daughter which was cute but how did they meet? How did Frankie decide to adopt her?And why was Frankie only mentioned by namefor the first time all season (by Eugene, which is a nice callback to their interactions in Season 7) literally 2 seconds before her death was revealed? Frankie could've easily been a more heart-breaking death if we saw a few scenes of her forming a bond with a child and becoming a mother but nah, they just decided to show her in the background hugging a child last episode. No explanation as to how she ended up an Alexandrian or how she became a mother. No nothing. The viewers aren't thinking "aw her poor kid", they're thinking "who the **** is Frankie?"
In case you can't tell I'm a tad pissed about the lineup lmao. They should've utilised the 'red-shirts' a bit more and only had one 'major' death (a lot of this stems from feelings about Abe being brushed under the dust in favour of a 'bigger' death in Glenn). It's not enough to make me want to stop watching but it's frustrating, and it bites more knowing that Michonne's gonna be gone from the show within mere episodes and that a certain someone else is rumoured to die :eyes:

Abe's death being forgotten about and thus Sasha and Rosita's anger in season 7 were completely overshadowed by Glenn's death and Maggie's widow storyline really got on ma tits WHEW

Yeah it's a real shame that the only real 'justice' for Abe died with Sasha (and even then Sasha's airtime was with comforting Maggie and trying to make amends with Rosita which was cute!! But could we not have seen more scenes of her missing Abe? That scene where Rosita and Sasha talking about they have each others backs was golden and we should've had more of that :(
It really became more apparent that Glenn's death was the focus with Maggie's speech in the season 7 finale. It's understandable to as why Glenn's death became the focus, but really? Did they need to off Abraham like that? It bites a bit more when you think about how Negan wasn't even kept alive for Abraham let alone Glenn, but rather for a pointless death in Carl. It sucks for Glenn but Abraham was ****ed over from the get-go. Embarrassing
Michonne needs an amazing send off (I actually liked Rick's, I don't know if that's controversial) but I also hope she gets an open-ended ending. But I also don't want her taking Judith with her. Judith is here to do what Carl can no longer do (well, relatively - an 8 year old girl is obviously different than a early teen boy hence why Henry adapted some of Carl's stuff this season) and there is officially no viable child to take the reigns in the show
And
yes, yes it is

It was really powerful seeing Frankie and Addy team up and whatnot. I loved how ready Enid looked, and I'm sure I caught Tara killing a whisperer about to attack DJ? As cruel as this sounds, I wish we got to see more of their fight.. and how they died. And how they got into that situation. But in a sense it's great that the last time we saw these characters is when they were fighting together. It's good to know they didn't just randomly get their throats slit in the middle of a field.
Siddiq was the only one not fighting back. I know he's not been known for conflict but yikes.

Rosita? Die? What gives you that idea? IMO it'd be really unwise to kill off Rosita any time soon. I know they killed off a pregnant Rosita in the comics but I can't imagine that would be seen as acceptable to air, and Rosita isn't even visibly pregnant, so shes still got a good few months left until she gives birth. And the show's done enough timeskips for one season, so I can imagine we'll be seeing Rosita through her pregnancy at least (I doubt we'll be seeing any time jumps, especially since they can't really be skipping the aftermath and conflict with the Whisperers since it's only just bdginning.
On that note, Rosita is about to become the 2nd longest running female character, now Maggie is AWOL, Michonne is leaving, and Tara is dead (it physically pains me to write that :( ), and is currently the 4th longest running character (about to be third once Michonne leaves). I honestly think her pregnancy, and her longevity, AND her storylines (she's pretty involved with the radio stuff which is a story in the comics she wasn't a part of necessarily) cement Rosita as unkillable until at least Season 11.
I know they've proven anyone can be killed off after they killed off Carl last season but they're spreading themselves thin. Pre Alexandria we only have Gabe, Rosita, Eugene, Carol, and Daryl (once Michonne leaves, that is). Everyone used to love the "Atlanta 5" and now there's barely 5 people from before Alexandria (and even with Alexandria, whose there that's worth noting? There's Aaron, but besides him there's only maybe Scott who has stayed in the show since season 5).
Honestly, your point about Beth is why so many people (and I did, but I gave up hope) believe Beth is still alive. They ****ed up her death, too, by being so ambigious and not giving her a funeral and all those bourry pics of her with Morgan circulating the internet. I guess what I'm trying to say I'd, the show's been going downhill since season 5 lmao

Fun fact! Tara and Enid's deaths were undecided until quite late into the season's production. When Brett was cast as Tammy, she was told straightaway "we're putting you on the pikes! :)". Her death was sad and it was so cute seeing her with the baby and I honestly wish they gave Frankie the treatment Tammy Rose got.

Also Frankie kicking like mad while still bound on the floor and Tammy with the shovel :worship: I assumed Siddiq fought too but that the flashbacks were for focusing on those who died. Rodney seemed too scared to fight back but I can't really blame him :laugh:
I'd definitely liked to have seen more though, especially to clear up how each was taken and how exactly the deaths played out.
When hearing about this event in the comics I always assumed they were discreetly killed after being snatched without any of them knowing what was going on but having them all corralled together first just added so much more poignancy to it.

Best since 4 for me. Actually I'd probably rank it second after 4.

I was pleasantly surprised by Tammy fighting back! It was even better when we think back to how Tammy took on the walkers in 9x13(I think? The one where they introduced the Highwaymen). Every time I think about Frankie a part of me feels sad, because she was one of Negan's 'wives' and was pretty unique because she was the only one left (that we know of). They really could have done something with that, and even if they didn't, Frankie was now a mum. They could've at least seen her doing some mother/daughter stuff with her child in the last episode (I think Frankie only spoke like, one line while her daughter was stood next to her?) Seeing her fight so hard is even more heartbreaking when you consider the fact she's got a kid, a kid she adopted nonetheless.
Poor Rodney :( (I can't remember if it was him or Gage that taunted Lydia about Henry and Addy, or both, but still </3) really would've liked to have seen more of the teens (and the pike victims in general) but I'm still traumatised because Alpha just killed three teenage kids (I remember hearing Negan Lucille'd a sixteen year old kid and being disturbed. Now we've seen three decapitated kids :worry:).
I do hope (and think) we'll see flashbacks. What I wanna know is, why didn't Alpha just kill them straight away? (Rhetorical, but I do wonder what people's opinions are - I can't think of a reason as to why she delayed killing them unless she tried to find more) Why did she capture them, tie them up, and then only decide to kill them once she got ambushed by DJ/Ozzy/Alek? She wasn't even watching them? She just decided to randomly walk in while the Whisperers were attacking them? Was there a reason she waited before she killed them?
And how did she kill them? (Rhetorical again) Did she decapitate them alive, or did she murder them by other means before cutting their heads off? I've got so many questions and I just want to know how it all went down :bawling:. I dunno if seeing more of the fighting back scene (especially without music and not in slow motion, which would probably be necessary if they did try and explain the entire story) would ruin how touching it was, but I'm definitely curious as to how some of my favourite characters spent their last moments alive.
Yeah, that's what I assumed from the comics, too. According to Robert Kirkman (for the comics, this is), "Alpha probably lured people outside the fair, i.e. asking help finding someone, asking to carry something, etc."

I think it's because the show has a proper antagonist for the heroes to go up against this season, where as sadly for Rick most of his villains were mini-arcs with the exception of The Governor and Negan.
I haven't caught every episode this season but I do like Alpha and The Whisperers in general whenever I catch the show, it's a shame that villains like this weren't used in seasons 5 & 6 which both years desperately needed imo.
But yeah overall the season does look better than the last few seasons imo, if not still grinding my gears over the boring Soapy bits.:laugh:

I could be wrong, I read the comics years ago and they deviate from the show so much I have made mistakes before but I think it is implied in the comics that people were lurked away before being attacked. They were all at a fair and Alpha lead them away from the group and that's the last you see of them until the border scene.
I do prefer how the show has handled it to be honest.

27-03-2019, 07:34 AM
Just watched last night's it was a fantastic episode in fact I have adored season 9!! But it was heartbreaking. Sometimes the walking dead manages to touch on real life issues and then whole strangers united fighting a threat to the end etc really struck a cord with issues like terrorism so it was very powerful. Also seeing kids like Judith and Lydia knowing what background they have had since being very young just having joy on their faces at being able to watch a movie. That was pretty emotional too

27-03-2019, 08:37 AM
very good episode, also what a sadistic psychopathic bitch this alpha is
the irony how Lydia wanted alpha not to get hurt, and her killing the one she really liked (Henry)
what i can see happening now
Carol & Lydia bonding, more of a mother/daughter relationship, what Lydia also needs a true mother figure, rather than the psychopath alpha who has been a horrible mother to her
Ozzy and highwaymen :sad: killed off too soon
Negan should be let out of his cell now, and be in the Alexandria board as a sort of strategy advisor for Michonne, he'll also be furious after knowing alpha killed 2 of his saviours (Frankie, DJ) frankie also having been one of his wives
Beta's badass appearance was almost like (surprise, bitch you haven't seen the last of me)
overall i liked it, i was smiling at the start of ep with the fair, and at the end i was crying

i was worried for Dog and Jerry honestly
it makes you sadder if you think more into who were on the pikes
- Enid never heard alden sing
- Henry never went to the movie with Lydia
- Tammy will never see her new son grow up
- Ozzy, Alek only got hired recently as guards with promise of seeing few movies, also never saw a movie
but also a few good things DJ, Frankie (formerly saviours) dying a heroic death trying to save the others (they failed but still, they died as heroes not villains)
Alpha killing the whisperer was more ''crying is a weakness'' he saw her cry and she doesn't want that to be seen

I was like :omgno: but let's face it, no one is bothered about Henry being dead :umm2:. Enid and Tara were shocks. But yes Nicky - I too was having a panic that the last head would be Dog! I would have boycotted the show. Best new character in years.
Comic / possible show spoilers:
Do we reckon the show will follow the comics and it'll be Negan who kills Alpha? It would sort of play into this redemption arc he's got going on... and with Michonne leaving but (presumably) Judith not leaving, maybe Alpha in some way threatens Judith and Negan sees himself as her new protector :think:. I believe in the comics, Alpha's death is what sparks the Whisperer war lead by Beta and it's eventually Aaron that shoots and kills Beta - but in the show I think it's a safe bet that it'll be a crossbow bolt from Daryl.
Also, I think in the comics, Beta kills Andrea whose role in the show has been filled by Michonne sooo... :worry:.

Yeah she was bitten but it was caused by Alpha... "murder by zombie" innit. They might make it Carol that kills Alpha but from what I can gather, Alpha's death is just the start of the war. Of course the show might flip that around and have Daryl kill Beta early sparking a war lead by Alpha.

It would sort of play into this redemption arc he's got going on... and with Michonne leaving but (presumably) Judith not leaving, maybe Alpha in some way threatens Judith and Negan sees himself as her new protector :think:. I believe in the comics, Alpha's death is what sparks the Whisperer war lead by Beta and it's eventually Aaron that shoots and kills Beta - but in the show I think it's a safe bet that it'll be a crossbow bolt from Daryl.
Also, I think in the comics, Beta kills Andrea whose role in the show has been filled by Michonne sooo... :worry:.[/QUOTE]
I really hope Judith doesn't leave :( I really hope Carol ends up being Alpha's killer. I really do think "I hope to meet her" is foreshadowing - but a Savior mentioned having Ezekiel's head on a pike last season and lo and behold nothing came of that.
Spoilers for 9x16:
I'm ngl, I scoffed a bit at the idea of Negan becoming paternal to Judith, even if they've clearly been going down that path :laugh: Regardless, in the next episode Negan finds Judith freezing in the snow (she went out to find Dog - who is safe!! don't worry) and he saves her. So I guess you're right :joker:
Beta doesn't necessarily 'kill' Andrea I don't think? I believe Beta unleashes the mega herd and Andrea's part of a group sent out to kill the walkers, and she gets bit on her neck without realising. Then she turns and in a similar fashion to Amy, Rick handles her reanimated self crying and then puts her down
Negan killing Alpha would be so disappointing. Now them flipping it and having her kill him would be glorious but that's not happening :joker: I think Carol as Alpha's killer would be better, and nicely foreshadowed in the latest ep when Alpha said she can't wait to meet her.
Wasn't Andrea bit? I haven't read that far but I keep up with the general gist online but I'm sure I read she got bit and killed herself, quite like her TV counterpart if so :laugh:
Alpha killing Negan would be a PERFECT deviation! I never thought of that happening. I really like this idea + Carol killing her and I'm gonna be so disappointed that this won't happen
re: the last part, Andrea does get bit (on her neck, just like the show) and then she actually reanimates, she doesn't commit suicide. Rick puts her down :(
(
After she dies Rick cries and Michonne comforts him saying "I'll be there for you, even when I'm not" or words to that effect and they lean on each other and smile so a part of me is thinking the comics are gonna copy the show for once and give us comic book Richonne :eyes:
In regards to Michonne getting Andrea's death, I'd be really disappointed:( I really want Michonne to go off into the sunset with Rick (but I also want Judith to stay in the show and that won't happen if Rick returns/Michonne doesn't die so :/). Andrea's comic story has been fragmented among different characters (Sasha being the marksman (which actually prompted some people to think Sasha will be Rick's girlfriend :laugh:), Carol mothering girls (Andrea mothered another set of kids in the comics, one of which killed his brother, just like the Lizzie/Mika storyline, except Carol kills Lizzie whereas Carl kills Billy and Andrea can't), and a few others (Comic Michonne's story is similarly split up - Michonne's the one who has a breakdown at the welcome party in Alexandria instead of Sasha, for example). So hopefully someone else will get that death (although I don't really feel like it's necessary in the TV show)

honestly i want alpha to die, cause then Beta will be the whisperers new leader and i find him such a badass, falling down the elevator shaft and surviving that
If I can thank Season 9 for anything it's that I've LOVED Daryl this season. I was a fan between seasons 1-3 but I went off him Season 4 and I DESPISED him season 6 onwards
I should be bitter that he's getting the main connection with Lydia instead of Carl/'Henry' ('connection' because obviously Daryl ain't dating Lydia like Carl), a story with Beta (instead of Aaron/Jesus), and whatnot, but I'm not, and I actually think Beta vs Daryl is the best rivalry they could've went with with Beta.
I'm also living for Daryl's connection with Lydia. I really like they've sorta acknowledged Daryl's past with abuse (and on that note, Carol as well) through her, and I like how he's sort of becoming paternal with her. Also I LIVE for Daryl's cute friendship with Connie. When he learnt some sign language for her :love: I was really scared they'd make him out to be some edgy loner recluse (which they sorta did) but I really think they've brought back the Daryl from earlier seasons. Daryl's back on form :clap1: (which I'm really happy about because no doubt the shift will go to him and Carol with Michonne leaving and the idea of Daryl taking over Rick REPULSED me before Season 9 aired)
9x16 spoiler talk
I really like that Carol's going to live at Alexandria. She always felt out of place at the Kingdom, I dunno why, especially since she's been there since Season 7. Seeing Tara leading Hilltop in Season 9 from the getgo felt so natural - it was like she belonged there, more so than Alexandria. With Carol it never felt like she had her place at the Kingdom, so I'm glad she's back at Alexandria :love:
(and with Daryl and Lydia? I've never been one for shipping but I would welcome Caryl happening with Carzekiel breaking up. Carol and Daryl has been my favourite dynamic since the early days.
Which reminds me of Carol's smug smile when she hears a motorbike during AOW :love: ICONIC

Ew no to the Daryl and Carol shipping - they've established them as close friends and that works fine, they better not start them on a romance. Yuck. Discustenn.

so now Carol will probably also meet Negan for first time, cause they never did in all those 3 series he's on the series
Negan saving Judith and Dog in that blizzard :love: :love: he also has figured it out correctly who is father of Rosita's baby, Siddiq :hehe:

I think everyone knows that / it's not a secret? The impression I got was that she was with (or at least, sleeping with) him before she got together with Gabriel, then found out she was pregnant really soon after they got together (so they already knew it couldn't be his). Negan just likes winding them up about it :joker:.

It was a decent episode but not a lot happened really did it, apart from me adoring negan
Whiskey Cavalier (the show Lauren Cohan moved to when she left TWD) has been cancelled, and iirc Cohan's been in contact with the showrunners ever since she left about potential returns.
Could we see Maggie's return this season? I certainly hope so. With Michonne leaving, I need Maggie back to give me more incentive to stay :love:
minor spoiler for Season 10:
Cyndie's actress has been seen recording. So not only are we seeing Oceanside back, but we've finally got Cyndie back :love: alongside new Rachel

idk if you saw in the FTWD thread but, yeah, the comics ended the issue after that with a 20 year time skip and epilogue :p
...wow that’s a packed trailer, I meant that trailer is FULL...:laugh:...I wonder if that’s an indication of falling viewers..?...maybe I’m reading too much into it...I don’t know I just feel as though the characters are not developing anymore so it’s focusing on other things for interest...and I’m losing a little of my interest, I don’t know if I’ll begin the series or not atm...

Negan's redemption arc, at the last episode of season 9 he rescued Judith and dog remember and he also gives advice to Michonne now
i can see it easily being that Negan is the one who kills Alpha

Looks like Christian (Rosita) could be leaving if she has taken on a leading role :worry:

Looks like Christian (Rosita) could be leaving if she has taken on a leading role :worry:
and just like that I'm pissed off lmao. I REALLY don't like how they had her friendship with tara.... essentially retconned in season 9. remember when Rosita watched over Tara as she woke up in 5x16? And how Tara watched over Rosita as she woke up in 7x16? They were easily one of the most noteworthy friendships and when Rosita is ill at Hilltop they don't even talk properly and Rosita isn't seen mourning her death? :umm2:
possibly an unpopular opinion but i really don'tlike how rosita's not really had her time be an independent woman. sure she was single between 7x08 and 9x06 but in 7b she was acting (mainly) in the name of Abraham (nothing wrong with that) and she barely appeared in Season 8 due to Christian's pregnancy) and now we could be saying goodbye to her in what will be
season-long love square... okay...
it's been established Rosita learnt so many skills from her past relationships in which she was undermined, why didn't we see more of them? Why do we need love drama? I'm not rooting for Rosita to get with anyone, sure Gabe makes her happy and respects her but it was so left-field it's hard for me to get behind it. Eugene is... Eugene, and Siddiq I've formed no connection with. Let Rosita be a single parent and kick ass while doing it
Rosita had plenty of development in Season 7 (one of the few redeeming qualities of such a poor season) and partly in Season 8 (from going solo in 7b to kill Negan, to respecting Rick's more calculated plan in season 8) so I can't be too mad if she goes. They did something with her character, it's just a shame the only skill she picked up from her exes is her bomb defusing skills.
Obviously Rosita's absence can't be helped since she has another show and it won't be the writers offing her despite her being a great character with more potential, but it still stings they didnt do as much as they could've with her with the time they've had her for :(
On this note, the only women/girls from the first five seasons remaining are Carol, Barbara (who isn't a main character and barely has any lines) and Judith (and Judith was only really a presence until 9x06 onwards, she was just a background character/plot point in the years building up to her being established as a character)
On the contrary, Daryl, Aaron, Eugene, and Gabriel are the only men from the first five seasons (Aaron being the least developed/shown character, despite being introduced the same time as Barbara). I don't mean anything by this, but it's just surreal to think the second longest running actress on the show currently will be Barbara's actress - a recurring character who has a few lines here and there :laugh:)

WHY are all the women continuing to drop like flies over the past 3 seasons.
losing Sasha, Maggie, Enid, Tara and potentially Rosita is a HUGE ass mistake
meanwhile, expendable male characters continue to be their mediocre selves and stay for the long haul
it's infuriating :riphair:

Maggie going couldn't be helped and while SMG did have Star Trek, they could've written Sasha out without killing her
Killing off Tara and Enid TOGETHER was a ****ing stupid idea. In the comics, there were two 'big' deaths. In the TV series? There were THREE. Im opposed to Tara and Enid's deaths but I's settle for just one of them and the one of them being appropriately mourned
It's hard not to agree with the men part tbh (to an extent). I love Aaron, Gabe's had great development, and while Eugene has too, he just still feels annoying. Daryl was TRASH between season 4 and 8 but got better in Season 9 but he was so unnecessary until then
